Some of you have heard that I was in an accident last weekend. The spyder is totalled and by the grace of God I am banged up but not broken. I believe the spyder saved my life. two things i know...i will always ride a spider and no matter how hot i will always wear a full face helmet. Thanks for all the well wishes and may your guardian angels enjoy the ride

Good Thing

It appears that your Spyder although totalled prevented you from being more seriously injured which is a good thing. This accident which was unfortunate for you has convinced me of the significant safety advantages the Can AM Spyder has over conventional 2 wheel motorcycles. I'm glad you came through it relatively unscathed. Hopefully you can get your ride replaced and be back on the road again soon.

+1 for complete safety gear. Glad too hear you are relatively okay. I live with the reminders of my motorcycle-deer wreck every day, even with all the gear and a high end Shoei helmet I was pretty beat up. One of the reasons I'm on a spyder now. My other bikes are either used in the woods or ridden little.

I was passing two vehicles. Had almost completed the task when the truck in front started to turn left. No brake lights, no blinker,....I had no where to go because of the second car. I tried to turn left also to avoid hitting head on.....I think that may have worked a little...the right side of my body took the most impact...the spyder after hitting the truck kind of bounced off....i was still on and the spyder was still upright...however i hit a curb and that seemed to separate me from my loyal ryde.....we went different directions....the spyder stayed upright through the whole ordeal took quite a bit of abuse....but i was amazed....(i was going between 50 and 60 miles an hour) so again grateful to my maker to still be here and a champion of the spyder always.
